Operation

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not operate this vac in areas with flammable gases or flammable vapors such as lighter fluid, cleaners, oil-base paints, gasoline, alcohol or explosive dust such as coal, magnesium, grain or gun powder in the air. Do not vacuum explosive dust, flammable or combusti- ble liquids or hot ashes. Do not use this vac as a sprayer. To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not vacuum toxic materials. To reduce the risk of electrical shock do not expose to rain. Store vac indoors. Unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter or emptying the dust drum.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hear- ing damage wear ear protectors when using the vac or blower for extended hours or when using it in a noisy area. The operation of any util- ity vac or blower can result in foreign objects being blown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye dam- age. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1(or in Can- ada CSA Z94.3-99) shown on Pack- age before commencing operation. Safety Goggles are available at many local retail stores.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quali- fied electrician to install the proper outlet.

Do not change the plug in any way.

NOTE: When using the unit in the vacuum- ing mode, always insert the air diffuser in the exhaust port on the detachable blower. This breaks up the direct flow of air and dif- fuses it.

Familiarize yourself with the accessories included with the vac. Each accessory may be used in various ways for vacuuming and blowing debris. Here is a list of the accesso- ries and their uses.

Utility Nozzle - General purpose nozzle for most vacuuming applications.

Wet Nozzle - Used for wet pickup on smooth surfaces to pick up liquid and dry the surface in one stroke.

Car Nozzle - Dry pickup nozzle for car inte- riors and most upholstery cleaning.
